Discover the story of the song > Apple Cider Re Constitution – Al Stewart

The protagonist arrives at a train station with his partner, but the trains are old and rusty and the station is in bad shape. They wait in the waiting room and put their sleeping bags on the floor. On Sunday morning, the protagonist is left alone without a place to go when his partner leaves. He considers going home along the coast road, but realizes there's nothing there for him. He thinks about settling down at any railway station to wash the cobwebs from his head. He mentions how London can make his brain stall and how he doesn't feel right going to Earl's Court Road. The protagonist appreciates his partner's appearance and wants them to come be with him. He describes the rundown state of the train station, but mentions that the rails go on forever and you can go anywhere you want.
